NEW DISCOVERY: First Half of Second Amendment
“I was unaware there was a first half to the second amendment,” said Wayne LaPierre, NRA Vice President. “I always just assumed it only read, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” I had no idea that it meant to arm the standing state militias at the time. It apparently also says, “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state..” Well I guess a well regulated militia is no longer necessary seeing as we have the United States Military, and the National Guard at the ready to protect us. I’m going to have to rethink everything. Now, I’m just going to have to be honest with my true intentions and can no longer use the second amendment as my reason for so many guns in the U.S. Now, I’ll just to say it’s because I’m in deep with the gun manufacturers and am trying to make as much money as possible. Dang it! This is going to take a lot of PR to overcome.”
This new discovery comes a time of great debate over the pursuit seemingly limitless firearm ownership. People have now seen the first half of the second amendment states that if federally regulated militias are necessary, they may be fully armed. However, state militias are no longer necessary due to the United States military. It seems the second half of the second amendment was to arm the first half of the second amendment. Perhaps the second amendment may really need to be updated to meet current requirements and standards of necessary ownership. It definitely puts a kink in the NRA’s plan of having an “every man, woman, and child for themselves mentality” like that of the Wild West or Prehistoric times before civilization taught us we work better in tribes (communities).

Yes, this was SATIRE.
If only it was so easy to delete generations of propaganda and the commercialized gun culture that play on the fear and lack of self of those desperately seeking some form of identity.
But it is something to think about as we tackle the commonly accepted meme that guns are part of being a patriot, since they are necessary to overthrow government. We know who held the closest that philosophy, the Confederacy, and they did NOT agree with the Constitution that many have enjoyed basic freedoms or if not, used the ideal of being created equal to protect them.
The Founders did not allow rebellion, and that militia in the first half of the Second Amendment was made to protect that government, and not to destroy it. We fought a civil war to maintain the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Tearing it down will NOT result in those being the law of the land.
I posit that the failure of regulating military style weapons, that is, those that are designed to kill quickly a lot of people, endangers gun possession as a whole. To claim that the only purpose of owning is to protect the very right to bear arms under the 2A without taking into context the society at large, is in itself illogical and irrational.
Some say they need guns to protect themselves from the government and are fighting to shut down the federal government will eliminate their rights by killing the document put in place to guard that.
Call for a Constitutional Convention as Paul Ryan and the Koch Brothers want and you will live under the boot of the paramilitary or private militias of the rich. And the individual gun owner will NOT be able to protect themselves in a society run by criminal gangs.
The 'revolutionaries' we have heard for so long, have no real grasp of history, despite spouting slogans and claiming they are 'awake' and everyone else is stupid. It's the Dunning Kruger Effect, they are so confident since they are shallow thinkers, easily driven by passions generated by those will discard them after they've done the dirty work for them.
JHMO.
= new reply since forum marked as read
are so completely focused on firepower, they have missed the weapons the gov has that could actually debilitate them without a single shot ever fired.
Have they never heard of LRAD? Or any of the other physiological and biological weapons the gov possesses? 
Your assessment is excellent.
profit, are not deep thinkers. They are brainwashed into thinking the Constitution means something it does not mean with the Amendments that followed the Tenth.
This leaves out the rights of slaves and women and many other things they have taken for granted, as well. We're not really arguing here, you and I.
The premise of the article in the OP and mine, is that the first part of the 2A does not encourage people to run about with military grade weaponry to take down the government, no matter what anyone thinks of its history, is like shooting oneself in the foot. They keep on like this and they will in the end meet their match, or if they infiltrate enough of government to overthrow it, we will be in an oligarchy with guns or weaponry only in the hands of the rich who can hire gunmen to take land, water rights, goods and even people as is done in facsist hell holes.
They are conditioning the American people to think this is the natural order of things. But it goes against priniciples most of us hold dear, even if not carried out to the extent they should be.
Rule by the gun is not freedom, liberty, democracy or even republican government but pure authoritarian rule where the many will keep their mouths shut about their rights for reasons of survival. They don't have any objection to this state of affairs if they profit.
Add to the daily physical level of fear, uncertainly and the kind of oppression this always creates, they are pushing for a theocracy to subjugate people even further than that.
